example.com has a link on their website which is on same domain like,

<a href="https://example.com?ref=mywebsite.tld">Reference</a>

example.com?ref=mywebsite.tld doesn't redirect with 302/301, it's just opening a blank page with a few line of javascript code and redirect to our website with javascript on page load,

location.href = "http://mywebsite.tld"

Does Google count this type of redirection as backlink?

Actually, only 301 redirection pass the Page Authority (PA) to target page and javascript redirection does not pass the PA, so you can not count on this type of redirection as a backlink.
